EuAlice D. McMillan

EuAlice Dean McMillan, 77, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, in Abilene, Texas. EuAlice was born in Wichita Falls, TX on May 11, 1937. She was the second child of the late Melvin (M.E.) and Susie Davidson. She is survived by her sister, Earlene Perry; as well as her three sons and their wives, Mark & Diana, Brent and Kathleen, and Scott and Jennifer; along with eight grandchildren, Kristen, Bryan, Bethany, Brady, Leanna, Rachel, Casey, and Andrea.

EuAlice grew up in Wichita Falls and moved to Abilene, TX when her father started working for TXDOT. In Abilene, she attended Abilene Christian College. It was there that she met her husband, Earle, and they were married on May 28, 1957. She graduated from Abilene Christian with a BS in Business Education in 1957. She was a member of GATA Women's Social Club, Kappa Delta Pi (Education Honor Society), Concert Chorale and Student Education Association. They left for Scotland in 1959 so Earle could pursue advanced studies at the University of Edinburgh and St. Andrews University. While at the University of Edinburgh they gave birth to their first son Mark. They then returned to the states and while Earle was teaching at Abilene Christian they had their second son, Brent. In 1965 they once again decided to return to Scotland, this time to St. Andrews, so Earle could get his PhD. EuAlice was a big help to Earle with his PhD, she did all the typing with all the Biblical languages on a manual type writer - a true act of love. While at St. Andrews they helped out with the local church there and had their third son, Scott.

During their various times in Scotland, Earle and EuAlice found a big interest in antiques and returned many times over the years to shop. Earle and EuAlice set up an antique store here in Abilene that was open on the weekends. EuAlice loved to help with the antiques and could literally tell you a story about almost every piece they bought. Earle and EuAlice lived most of their lives in Abilene, TX. She was a devoted wife and mother. EuAlice was a life-long member of Minter Lane Church of Christ in Abilene. In their early years EuAlice and Earle loved to travel, touring countries all over Europe and Africa.
